SpacyAce2012 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hello! I'm new to the forum and this is my first topic posted. I haven't assembled any Macross kits in several years. However,I have a renewed interest is starting back up again. The only kits I have much experience with are those that were put out by Arii. So I posted this to get some recommendations on any other good lines/companies I should try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 hi and welcome!! I've put together 2 Hasegawa kits. The detail and mould is spectacular, but they are very fragile. Not like your Gundam MG kits. You need time, patience, glue, paint, a fine attention to detail and a delicate hand and they look great. Also, anything recent (ie, decent construction) has been made by hasegawa. Probably why mine look like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylwell Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'll second the Hase kits. I've only build two but loved putting them together. Gamma Nora VF-0s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yup, get the Hasegawa line, start with any of the VF-1's, cheap and readily available. Welcome to Macrossworld and back to Macross modeling... you're in sooo much trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yeah...Hasegawa kits are true model kits! You get a lot of fun out of them and will require some skills to get them right, not like the latest BanDai MG and PG kits where no glue or putty is needed, not even sanding down parts as all are nicely hidden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are unassembled toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacyAce2012 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well ,I just might have to give the Hasegawa kits a try. Can anyone recommend a good,reputable online company I can order them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I know www.valkyrie-exchange.com might have a few kits in stock. Kevin who owns the store is a member here. Very reputable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armentage Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I like the Hasegawa airplaine kits. LOTS of detail for a 1/72! Much more than you see on your typical old-school Revell/Monogram or Testor's kit. Very modern kits cast with all the latest bells and whistles. They don't transform, but look much more beautiful in fighter form than anything else you can buy (built or unbuilt) Something you might want to try is the Bandai VF2SS kit (from MacrossII). It's a snap-together kit molded in color. Easy construction, and LOTS of parts! Not too much detail, but it's pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 nobody mentioned the bandai sd kits with working guns?!?!? super simple, transformable, and sooooo much room for custumization. I'd suggest picking up at least one. Take you less than an hour to build but what you do from there is up to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
